My memory could be incorrect, but wasn't the hang worth the same as one scored soccer ball?

I think that's the gist of it.
Our climber was the most Rube Goldberg machine we've ever built. The only electronic component of our hanger was a single servo to deploy the hook. Once the hook arm started swinging, the rest was a mechanical process. The swinging hook arm pulled a bike cable that turned the trunk latch that released the gas strut rope winch.
